Boeing Sued by Nigeria DANA AIR Crash Victim’s Husband, Daughter

Boeing Co. (BA),the  maker of the ill fated MD-83 airliner that crashed in in Iju Lagos, Nigeria on June 3, just got sued in Chicago, United States by the husband and daughter of one of the 153 people aboard the jet who died.



Bloomberg reports
David Chukwunonso Allison of Lagos filed the lawsuit yesterday on behalf of his 1-year-old daughter Naomi Isioma Allison in federal court in Chicago. Boeing, jet-engine maker United Technologies Corp. (UTX) and units of the companies were named as defendants.


The girl’s mother, Joy Chiedozie Allison, was on Dana Airlines Ltd. flight 992 from Abuja, Nigeria, which crashed into a two-story building as it approached the Lagos airport. While the cause of the crash is under investigation, Nigeria’s government has indefinitely suspended Dana’s license.
“By virtue of her untimely death, plaintiff is lawfully entitled to such damages as are fair and just for the death and loss thus occasioned,” including funeral expenses and the value of her companionship, according to the 57-page complaint.
The Allisons allege the crash was caused by defects in the design or manufacture of the jet or its engines, or pilot negligence.
John Dern, a spokesman for Chicago-based Boeing, declined to comment on the allegation
